Brew espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, and tea with this super-automatic
home espresso machine. Its simple control panel provides a dial display
with 1- to 8-ounce serving settings, and three buttons--one for power,
one for coffee, and one for steam. With the push of a button, the unit
grinds, doses, tamps, brews, and dispenses coffee; it can even prepare
two cups at the same time. The machine comes with an adjustable
built-in conical burr grinder and a pre-brewing cycle that injects hot
water into ground coffee to maximize flavor extraction. Its Opti-Dose
adjustable doser allows for adjusting the fineness of the grinds, the
amount of coffee brewed, and the amount of ground coffee used to make
each individual cup, from 6 to 9 grams. In addition, the espresso
machine's Rapid Steam function means no waiting between frothing milk
and brewing espresso, and its steam and hot water wand comes with an
exclusive pannarello frother to make frothing milk simple. The steam
wand's swivel joint adjusts to accommodate either a 12-ounce or
20-ounce frothing pitcher. With a light push, the machine will rotate
on its swivel base, simplifying general maintenance and the cleaning
and refilling of the 57-ounce removable water tank. Other highlights
include a removable brew group for chemical-free cleaning; a removable
drip tray and dreg drawer; and a removable dump box for used grounds
(holds up to 15 pucks). Made in Italy, the 1,250-watt super-automatic
espresso machine measures 12-1/2 by 14 by 15-3/4 inches and carries a
one-year parts-and-labor warranty.
From the Manufacturer.
ringing the café into your own home has never been easier with Saeco’s
Spidem Villa super-automatic espresso machine. This fully automatic
espresso machine will take you from coffee bean to cup at the push of a
button. Just add whole beans and water, and instantly you will have a
perfectly extracted espresso. With state-of-the-art technology, you
can make all of your favorite espresso-based drinks, including
cappuccinos, lattes, and even regular-strength coffee. The hot-water
nozzle also dispenses hot water for tea or soup. Every cup of coffee is
freshly ground, dosed, tamped, and brewed with consistent high quality
in one cycle, all at the push of a button. Helpful Elements
With a simple turn of the Spidem Villa’s steam knob, you can use the
steam wand and pannarello frothing device to froth milk easily for
cappuccinos and lattes. The machine’s conical burr grinder grinds the
coffee before each dose is dispensed and can be adjusted to change the
coarseness of the grind, allowing you to control the coffee’s strength.
The Spidem Villa also includes a brew button for brewing single and
double shots. To change the strength of the coffee, the
volume-adjustment knob can be turned to the right (less coffee) or to
the left (more coffee) to regulate the amount of water used. You can
even change the amount of coffee beans used for each beverage, from 6
to 9 grams, with the Opti-Dose adjustable doser. By adjusting the
amount of coffee, you can adjust the strength, from weak to strong,
without changing the amount of water used. A pre-brewing cycle injects
a small amount of hot water into the freshly ground coffee to maximize
the flavor extraction. The Saeco Easy Clean System consists of the new,
patented brew group, the heart of the machine, which can be completely
removed at the push of a button for convenient rinsing and
chemical-free cleaning, and the water tank, dump box, and drip tray are
easily removable for refilling and cleaning. Additional features
include an adjustable/removable dual-spout dispensing head and a swivel
base.
Features and Specifications
- Hot-Water Nozzle: Dispenses steaming water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant soups.
- Pannarello
Frothing Device: This makes getting that soft, velvety foam for a
cappuccino fast and easy. Completely removable for easy rinsing, it
offers flexibility and convenience when frothing milk.
- Adjustable
Conical Burr Grinder: The machine’s conical burr grinder can be
adjusted to several different grind settings, from fine to coarse. The
burr grinders crush the beans between a moving grinding wheel and a
non-moving surface, which creates a finer and more consistent grind
than you get with blade grinders. When water filters through fine
grinds, it extracts the flavor more evenly for a perfect, robust cup of
coffee.
- Patented Removable Brew Group: The removable brew
group is the heart of every one of Saeco’s fully automatic machines.
Thanks to this patented technology, all it takes is the push of a
button, and Saeco’s machines grind fresh whole beans, dose the grounds,
brew the espresso, and discard the used grounds, all in one automatic
cycle. The brew group can be easily removed for simple rinsing with tap
water.
- Volume-Adjustment Knob: Turn to the right (less coffee) or to the left (more coffee) to regulate the amount of water used.
- Opti-Dose: Allows you to adjust the amount of coffee ground from 6 grams to 9 grams of ground beans per brewing cycle.
- Saeco
Aroma System: To optimize the coffee-drinking experience, a special
programmed step injects a small amount of hot water into the freshly
ground coffee to start a pre-brewing process. This is done just before
the actual brew cycle commences in order to extract the best elements
from the coffee grounds.
- Dual-Spout Dispensing Head: With the
dual-spout dispensing head, the espresso is divided evenly, so you can
brew two cups simultaneously.
- Adjustable and Removable Dispensing Head: Allows for several different sized cups and mugs to be used.
-
Swivel Base: The swivel base provides convenient rotation and makes
operating and maintaining the machine more accessible and practical.
- Easy
Clean System: Lets the new, patented brew group, the heart of the
machine, be completely removed at the push of a button for convenient
rinsing and chemical-free cleaning.
